Do you see the angles that are marked congruent?

anonymous · Answer

I think ? congruent means equal right

mertsj · Answer

Yes.  Congruent means equal in measure.

mertsj · Answer

Those angles have a special name.  What is it?

anonymous · Answer

umm supplementary ?

mertsj · Answer

No.  some names of special angles are:  vertical, alternate interior, corresponding, alternate exterior.  Do any of those sound familiar?

anonymous · Answer

some of them do! :)

mertsj · Answer

So now can you identify what kind of angles are marked congruent in your picture?  What are they called?

mertsj · Answer

I believe we have identified at least part of the reason you are having trouble in geometry.  You MUST learn the language of geometry.  That means you have to know what the words mean.
